CLOONAN, MICHELE VALERIE

The Monumental Challenge of Preservation: The Past in a Volatile World

Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2018. 0262037734. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0262037734. Signed by the author on the title page. Publisher's full black cloth, white lettering on spine. Illustrated with numerous B&W photographs. Includes extensive Notes, Bibliography, and Index. The enormous task of preserving the world's heritage in the face of war, natural disaster, vandalism, neglect, and technical obsolescence.The monuments-movable, immovable, tangible, and intangible-of the world's shared cultural heritage are at risk. War, terrorism, natural disaster, vandalism, and neglect make the work of preservation a greater challenge than it has been since World War II. Cloonan makes the case that, at this critical juncture, we must consider preservation in the broadest possible contexts. Preservation requires the efforts of an increasing number of stakeholders.In order to explore the cultural, political, technological, economic, and ethical dimensions of preservation, Cloonan examines particular monuments and their preservation dilemmas. The massive Bamiyan Buddhas, blown up by the Taliban in 2001, are still the subject of debates over how, or whether, to preserve what remains, and the US National Park Service has undertaken the complex task of preserving the symbolic and often ephemeral objects that visitors leave at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial-to take just two of the many examples described in the book. Cloonan also considers the ongoing genocide and cultural genocide in Syria; the challenges of preserving our digital heritage; the dynamic between original and copy; efforts to preserve the papers and architectural fragments of the architect Louis Sullivan; and the possibility of sustainable preservation. In the end, Cloonan suggests, we are what we preserve-and don't preserve. Every day we make preservation decisions, individually and collectively, that have longer-term ramifications than we might expect.. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unread, unmarked, tight, square, and clean. NEW/NEW.. B&W Photographs. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 280 pp. Signed by Author.

The book even now remains a standard text on the subjects of Queen Anne and Chippendale furniture. It contains unequalled photographs and otherwise unavailable examples of manufacturer labels and inscriptions. Sections on specific types of furniture include: Beds, Chairs, Chests, Clocks, Couches, Desks And Bookcases, Fire Screens, Looking Glasses, Sofas, Stands, Stools, Tables, and Labels and Inscriptions. The ten color plates are a group of Queen Anne and Chippendale interiors and the remaining B&W plates are 401 examples of individual items of furniture from the Henry Francis DuPont Winterthur Museum. The museum at Winterthur contains the largest and richest collection of American furniture in the world. Joseph Downs was director of Winterthur Museum and a recognized authority on American decorative arts. Downs had planned to write a three-volume history of American furniture but died before he could complete more than this volume. Charles Montgomery eventually wrote the second, on Federal furniture.
